Congratulations on both! See what I get for not reading you blog right away and not coming to Codemash?! Dammit all. What exciting news, I was just wondering recently if we were ever going to see such an announcement. And so what does the future hold now, both with being engaged and with joining Pillar? Bloomington, IN? Are you moving? Going to do some kind of split scenario?

Never mind all that. What’s really exciting is, I’m writing this
comment in vim and you’re seeing it because I git pushed. First
git comment since the big site move!

But it’s also exciting, I suppose, to join Pillar as a software
development coach. And
challenging, because Pillar doesn’t currently have any clients in
the vicinity of Bloomington. I’ll be spending a lot of time each
week in southeast Michigan, which (in the absence of direct flights,
buses, and trains) most likely means spending lots of time in a car
on Mondays and Thursdays. I’ll have a better idea how best to cope
with the distance after I’ve started on-site next month.

Wrong! Delta has plenty of IND-DTW nonstops. I don’t know how I got
myself so thoroughly convinced that no such option existed. Some
are even scheduled very favorably. The fare isn’t consistently in
a range I’d choose to pay, but having me fly is exceedingly likely
to be worth everyone’s while, and at any rate my personal moneybags
aren’t the ones implicated.
